Mobile Instant Messaging

[ilyabyk83]

Hi All!! Do you know of any Mobile IM Clients for AIM service for WM 6?? I want to install one on my PDA. I don't have a data plan. But my older PDA (Same Brand and Model) but it was only locked to one provider, this one is unlocked phone. Anyway, I used to have this "OZ Messaging" client on that device, I never had any kind of data plans and it worked. I was hoping to find something like this, or at least a just a mobile AIM version. But I really want for it, to work over the air (it could be using my SMS gateway), and for it to vibrate when my phone is to "vibrate" mode. Does anybody think can help me with this, please??? I find a lot of apps, but they all require Internet access on the phone. I was kind of hoping to find something like what I used previously. I use HTC P4351, and its running Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro. Thanx for all of the help!

Yeah, there is an official AIM client for Windows Mobile, and you can get it here: AOL Mobile - AIM® for Windows Mobile

Yeah!! Thanx but no thanx!! I tried it out already!! It requires for my phone to have mobile net access. I don't have it. I was looking for something that uses your GPRS connection (Free Connection if you have it in your plan)). It doesn’t cost any extra. It’s a free service; it is really up to your device. My device is HTC P4351. Its GPRS enabled device. I’m looking for something that this will be enough for. Regular T-Mobile Wing has this "OZ Messaging Communicator". And I certainly never had any kind of a data plan, and I was still able to log in to any of these three accounts. AIM ICQ or Y!. I need something like this. That won't require a data plan. Just basic GPRS!! Thank You

This is a quote from that site that you offered me!

"This service requires a data access or data plan from your wireless carrier. "

I do not have that!!!

Hi all. Hoping to find what I'm looking for here. I used to have a T-Mo Wing, my warranty expired and the phone broke. So the best offer T-Mo gave me was $350 for brand new Wing. I said "NO", and I went to eBay and found an unlocked HTC P4351 (HTC model of T-Mo Wing) for $230 (unlocked!!). But there is a problem with this device. It doesn't have that OZ Instant Messenger as the T-Mo Wing does/did. So I'm trying to find a free multi-client messenger just like that OZ Instant Messenger. But I want for it to vibrate when the PDA is set to vibrate mode. My OZ didn't do that. It only was only capable of making sounds when my sound was on.
Next:
Since I don’t have and never did, any of mobile internet. It used my SMS gateway to sign on and to send/receive all of the incoming and outgoing instant messages (GPRS Connection). As soon as I tried logging in/on to my AIM account, it would turn on GPRS connection an log on. Whenever I sent or received an Instant Message (IM) it would count as 1 sent/received SMS.
“GPRS Connection” is also what the phone uses to send/receive picture messaging, too.
This connection was NOT set up on this phone originally. I wasn’t able to send/receive picture messages, I configured it myself. Now I can send/receive picture messages. Or instead of punching in a phone number to send it to, I punch in my e-mail address, and it sends a message to my e-mail from “mynumber@tmomail.net”. It turns on my GPRS Connection and sends it.

So
- First: I need to configure this application to use this connection (Turn It On Somehow)
- Second : I need to find an app of AIM for Windows Mobile 6 Pro

Bottom Line
I need to configure this connection, and I need to install some kind of a client to support connection with it. Thank you for trying to help me!!
